Groupon

We’re here to translate people power into financial clout.

Launched in 2010, Groupon South Africa features daily deal on the best things to do, see, eat, and buy in a variety of cities across South Africa. Our company philosophy is pretty simple: we treat our customers the way we like to be treated. That boils down to a few key things:

We only sell stuff we want to buy

A great price is only half the battle – it also has to be a great product or service. Between our top-rated business partners and unbeatable prices, you should feel comfortable venturing out and trying something new – just because it’s featured on Groupon South Africa. We want Groupon South Africa to be an addiction you can feel good about.

Wayne Gosling
CEO at Groupon South Africa

The nature of our business requires us to be customer-centric. I come in early and check my emails, have a quick chat with all the managers and I spend as long as it take going through customer experience for the two days prior. We’ve got a special energy that the other countries don’t have – we’re both a startup and we kept that vibe through the business. We have an African touch to it – our ideals are quite different from the US to suit our different markets.

Sahil Khokhar, iX Session 1 Web DevIntern at Groupon

The part that I enjoy the most at my internship is the freedom [and] flexibility of [the] working environment. I am working under the CEO of the company, Wayne Gosling. He is always available for any form of difficulty that I face and I love that. The part that I enjoy the most at my internship is that I am currently working on one of the most valuable [web apps] that they have under their belt right now. The coding is really complex and is so fun [to work with] that I can’t even describe [it]. I am building an entire website from scratch and [it’s going to] be live [in just two weeks] – how cool is that?
